Kingspan Off-Site’s TEK Building System has achieved the highest Green Guide rating in the BRE’s Certified Environmental Profiles Scheme.

The Green Guide A+ rating was awarded for Kingspan TEK’s specification on external walls which comprise 110mm high-performance CFC/HCFC-free rigid urethane insulation sandwiched between two sheets of OSB 3.

“The Green Guide ratings are an ideal way for specifiers to consider the environmental sustainability of building elements,” said Kingspan Off-Site’s technical director Dr Paul Newman.

“Achieving an A+ further consolidates Kingspan Off-Site’s commitment to environmental sustainability and makes the products specification even more compelling.”

The BRE Certified Environmental Profile Scheme provides a standardised way of assessing the environmental impact of a building.
